Oh I have to say this melon was not stolen and it was grown in a little area north of me called Blue.
It is located between Lexington Paige Thorndale and Elgin on FM 696.

Don, I lived in Sulphur for 4 years and never ate at Hackett's, The Sausage Link opened up close buy and it was close enough to home.

I live a few miles south of Don's and they're one of the worst I've ever eaten. The old guy who used to make it died and it's not the same. You would think some of his kids would care to learn but nope.

The best boudin is at exit 97 in Scott, the Boudin capitol. I like Billy's for the stuffed boudin balls and it's a toss up between Don's and Best Stop for boudin. My God daughter is making the boudin at Best Stop and loves her job, I hope that cooking thing will stay with her.

balls. Like we do for sausage before making an entire batch. Do a pan seared taste test....
